Badlock Security Vulnerability Notification on RNDU4000 and no fix available
ReadyNASRNDU4000 last firmware update was 4.2.28. Netgear sent me an email saying I was susceptible to the vulnerability and there is nothing I can do.
Does anyone know anything I can do. I have always thought that there would be security updates, but apparently not.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have not hit the vulnerability yet that I know of, but I received an email from Netgear telling me to upgrade the firmware because I am vulnerable. It is unnerving to have a product when the complany that makes it, says you should upgrade when they stopped shipping firmware about 6 months ago. I am now considering a new NAS, only to hear the current home models were released 3 years ago and no new models in the near future.
I do not see a good netgear solution that gives me a confidence as a long term solution.

There was mention in another thread by somebody from NETGEAR that this mail was sent by mistake to all registered ReadyNAS owners instead of all registered ReadyNAS OS 6 owners. FWIW, ReadyNAS OS 6 models were released something like 2013. While RNDU4000 was realease long before that iirc. So the models released three years ago are indeed getting the security update...
